Abbreviation: STR

• A stat that is compared with an enemy's vitality to determine the base damage of a character's attacks.

• Strength also has a direct impact on a character's attack and Ranged Attack.

• For every 2 points STR increase a character has, his/her attack and Ranged Attack value is raised by 1 point. However, when using a Two-Handed Weapon, for every 4 points of STR, your attack value is raised by about 3 (.75 per one point of STR).

Associated with the element of Fire. Many fire-based items add STR to a character's Stats. Example: Ifrit's Blade
